Make the Fair Trade Choice ~ Cathy Woodson

St. Elizabeth will begin using Fair Trade Coffee at parish activities and encourage you to purchase coffee and other items from the Fair Trade Table in the church hall. We will begin by selling coffee. Later we can add craft items and chocolate. To learn more go to the website: www.crsfairtrade.org

If you make the Fair Trade choice, you can help build an economy for everyone. Fair trade builds right relationships between buyers and sellers that are rooted in the principles of human dignity and solidarity.

Fair Trade:
  • Respects human dignity
  • Promotes the common good
  • Advances economic justice
  • Empowers disadvantaged people
  • Connects us with the people who create the things we buy
  • Cultivates global solidarity

The Catholic Relief Services Fair Trade Program creates opportunities for us to bring these core values of our faith to bear on the choices we make as customers - choices that have the power to lift our brothers and sisters out of poverty.

For purchases, please make your check payable to: St. Elizabeth Catholic Church. Check would be preferred instead of cash.
